WARNING: Fake Lovin Malta Account Asking People For Their Personal Details
A fake profile impersonating Lovin Malta has been reportedly requesting people’s bank details in order to win a “surprise” gift.
The profile called Lovin’Malta, which has since been reported and removed from Facebook, asked for people’s credit card details as part of a con to claim a gourmet hamper worth €100.
Some people have also been contacted via email.
